No place to hide (Checking in suppressed components)

A pebble in the shoe for Inventor users for some time now, especially those looking to bulk load data, has been checking in suppressed components.

As user’s increase use of suppressed parts to manage large data sets utilizing substitution and level of detail, it has become increasingly important to resolve these suppressed parts. To address this Vault 2013 now calculates suppressed parts on check-in and permits those not currently loaded in memory to be included, meaning users are no longer required to revert to master level of detail to get their files checked in.

If you watch closely you will see the suppressed file calculation dialog flash across the screen before the check in dialog, now including all your referenced assembly files requiring check in, whether loaded or not.
